Ant-Man Movie Villain Rumored To Be Yellowjacket

Body

Yesterday saw a batch of Ant-Man rumors that stated Crossfire was to be a villain, with the character's costume described differently than its comic book counterpart as being yellow and black with a stinger.

Now it's being said that the Ant-Man movie villain is actually Yellowjacket, which was an incarnation of Hank Pym in the comics.

However, BadAssDigest is stating that Marvel Studios is going in a different direction than the comic books with Yellowjacket in the movie being a different character and a villain.

So if any of this is true, it seems as if Hank Pym will have created the Ant-Man suit and possibly have been Ant-Man at one time; Scott Lang will become the new Ant-Man, with the villain a separate character called Yellowjacket.

"Ant-Man" has a July 17, 2015 release directed by Peyton Reed starring Michael Douglas as Hank Pym and Paul Rudd as Scott Lang.
